Dear NBER Staff,
In light of the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision with regard to the
Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA"), the NBER is holding *a special open
enrollment from August 15 to August 31, 2013. During this special open
enrollment period, same-sex spouses and their dependents, who are not
already enrolled in their spouse's current policy, can be added to their
health, dental or FSA plan*. Subscribers who fail to add a same-sex
spouse partner and/or their dependents during this special period will
not be able to do so again until the NBER's next regular Open Enrollment
period or a subsequent Qualifying Event (such as a loss of coverage or a
life status change) occurs. Please note that any employee taking
advantage of this special open enrollment period will need to provide a
copy of his or her marriage certificate at the time of enrollment, if
he/she has not previously done so.
*Please email me directly if you wish to receive the enrollment forms
for this special open enrollment opportunity. *
Thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Diane
